A survey of snow avalanche accidents in Norway.
(Norwegian Geotechnical Institute;203, Chapter, 1998)Available historical data relating to snow avalanche accidents in Norway have been examined, ranging from the 17th century to present. A near continuous record of avalanche deaths from 1855 is documented. From 1946, the ... -
Surveying Perception of Landslide Risk Management Performance, a Case Study in Norway
(Chapter, 2017)The effectiveness of landslide risk management should be assessed to optimize the implementation of landslide risk mitigation measures. The Risk Management Index (RMI) of Cardona et al. (Disaster risk and risk management ... -
Sustainable impermeable landfill barriers: The potential of using geological waste and surplus masses
(Lecture, 2023)This study investigated the potential to reuse excavated cement stabilised clay (CSC) and press filter residual (PFR) as impermeable landfill barriers. First, laboratory experiments including particle size distribution, ... -
The Svalbard fatal accident 19th December 2015 - Assisting local authorities in the acute phase
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2016)The Svalbard fatal avalanche caused massive destruction when it hit part of the village Longyearbyen Saturday morning at the start of the Christmas holiday. The avalanche released after a furious storm and killed to persons, ... -
A synoptic climatology of major avalanche winters in Norway
(Journal article, 1986)A near continuous record of avalanche deaths in Norway is compiled for 130 years from 1855, and shows a distinct downward trend, but large variations from winter to winter, with a periodicity of 12–13 years. Twelve major ... -
Sørpeskred - like destruktive som snøskred, men lite kjent
(Chapter, 1999)Sørpeskred - hurtigflytende masser av snø og vann - forårsaker hvert år store skader i Norge. En oversikt over Norges Geotekniske Institutt sin kunnskap om sørpekred, tilegnet gjennom 25 år med forskning og konsulentarbeid, ... -
Sørpeskred. Egenskaper, historikk og sikringsløsninger
(Klima 2050;38, Report, 2022)Sørpeskred er en skredtype som gjør stor skade på infrastruktur og bebyggelse, men som er forsket på og dokumentert i mye mindre omfang enn for eksempel snøskred og flomskred. Sørpeskred oppstår når snødekket mettes med ... -
Temperature gradient metamorphism and its relation with the avalanche release
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In winter there is a considerable amount of solid precipitation in the western part of Himalayas. Avalanche frequently occur here, and often endanger national economic construction and human life. Observations show that ... -
The temporal and spatial variation of snow pressure on structures
(Journal article, 1985)Measurements of snow creep pressure on an avalanche-defence structure in western Norway are presented. Two different types of measurement methods are described and evaluated. Pressure data from four winters are correlated ... -
Temporal changes in the spatial variability of shear strength and stability.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Avalanche forecasting involves the prediction of spatial and temporal variability of the snowpack. To predict avalanches with more accuracy it is important to determine whether the snowpack is becoming more spatially ... -
Temporal evolution of flow-like landslide hazard for a road infrastructure in the municipality of Nocera Inferiore (southern Italy) under the effect of climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In recent years, flow-like landslides have extensively affected pyroclastic covers in the Campania region in southern Italy, causing human suffering and conspicuous economic damages. Due to the high criticality of the area, ... -
Testing Tsunami Inundation Maps for Evacuation Planning in Italy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)nundation maps are a fundamental tool for coastal risk management and in particular for designing evacuation maps and evacuation planning. These in turn are a necessary component of the tsunami warning systems’ last-mile. ... -
The 2014 Lake Askja rockslide-induced tsunami: Optimization of numerical tsunami model using observed data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)A large rockslide was released from the inner Askja caldera into Lake Askja, Iceland, on 21 July 2014. Upon entering the lake, it caused a large tsunami that traveled about ∼3 km across the lake and inundated the shore ... -
The 2017 rigopiano avalanche—dynamics inferred from field observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This note first summarizes the history of the manuscript “On a Continuum Model for Avalanche Flow and Its Simplified Variants” by Grigorian and Ostroumov—published in this Special Issue—since the early 1990s and explains ... -

The 29th January 2014 submarine landslide at Statland, Norway—landslide dynamics, tsunami generation, and run-up
(Journal article, 2016)A coastal landslide occurred at Statland, Namdalseid county, mid-Norway, on January 29, 2014, and generated a local tsunami. Neither the landslide nor the tsunami resulted in severe casualties, but the landslide tsunami ... -
The Challenges of Mitigation Measures in Longyearbyen Svalbard
(Lecture, 2018)The Arctic regions are facing changes in climate; warmer weather and more intense precipitations are thought to be the consequences. Longyearbyen in Svalbard is one of those places where warmer weather has been influencing ... -

The correlation between pO2 and pCO2 as a chemical marker for detection of offshore CO2 leakage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A controlled CO2 release experiment was carried out in order to mimic unintended leakage of geologically stored CO2, and to study methods for detecting these leak events. The experiment was carried out at 60 m depth in the ... -
